2024 book 156

 Nghi Vo's The City in Glass

This is about a demon woman who's been hanging out in a city for hundreds of years, shaping it and enjoying it (it seems like a nice city!). So when a team of angels comes and completely destroys it, she's pissed, and manages to curse one of the angels. Then she's dealing with grief, and trying to rebuild, and the angel is hanging around because he can't go home, and they start working together. But like it's kind of slow and there isn't much character development or really any plot developments until close to the end. I did end up really liking the end! It just didn’t grab me until then. B/B+.
